/**
 * 	TweenMax extends the extremely lightweight, fast TweenLite engine, adding many useful features
 * 	like timeScale, event dispatching, updateTo(), yoyo, repeat, repeatDelay, rounding, and more. It also 
 * 	activates many extra plugins by default, making it extremely full-featured. Since TweenMax extends 
 * 	TweenLite, it can do ANYTHING TweenLite can do plus much more. The syntax is identical. With plenty 
 *  of other tweening engines to choose from, here's why you might want to consider TweenMax: 
 * 
 * <ul>
 * 		<li><b> SPEED </b>- TweenMax has been highly optimized for maximum performance. See some speed comparisons yourself at 
 * 			 <a href="http://www.greensock.com/tweening-speed-test/">http://www.greensock.com/tweening-speed-test/</a></li>
 * 
 * 	    <li><b> Feature set </b>- In addition to tweening ANY numeric property of ANY object, TweenMax can tween filters, 
 * 		  	hex colors, volume, tint, frames, saturation, contrast, hue, colorization, brightness, and even do 
 * 		  	bezier tweening, orientToBezier, round values, jump to any point in the tween with the <code>currentTime</code> 
 * 			or <code>currentProgress</code> property, automatically rotate in the shortest direction, plus LOTS more. 
 * 		 	Overwrite management is an important consideration for a tweening engine as well which is another area 
 * 		  	where the GreenSock Tweening Platform shines. You have options for AUTO overwriting or you can manually 
 * 		  	define how each tween will handle overlapping tweens of the same object.</li>
 * 		  
 * 		<li><b> Expandability </b>- With its plugin architecture, you can activate as many (or as few) features as your 
 * 		  	 project requires. Write your own plugin to handle particular special properties in custom ways. Minimize bloat, and
 * 		  	 maximize performance.</li>
 * 		  
 * 		<li><b> Sequencing, grouping, and management features </b>- TimelineLite and TimelineMax make it surprisingly 
 * 			 simple to create complex sequences or groups of tweens that you can control as a whole. play(), pause(), restart(), 
 * 			 or reverse(). You can even tween a timeline's <code>currentTime</code> or <code>currentProgress</code> property 
 * 			 to fastforward or rewind the entire timeline. Add labels, gotoAndPlay(), change the timeline's timeScale, nest 
 * 			 timelines within timelines, and lots more.</li>
 * 		  
 * 		<li><b> Ease of use </b>- Designers and Developers alike rave about how intuitive the platform is.</li>
 * 		
 * 		<li><b> Updates </b>- Frequent updates and feature additions make the GreenSock Tweening Platform reliable and robust.</li>
 * 		
 * 		<li><b> AS2 and AS3 </b>- Most other engines are only developed for AS2 or AS3 but not both.</li>
 * 	</ul>
 * 	         			
 * <b>SPECIAL PROPERTIES (no plugins required):</b><br /><br />
 * 	
 * 	Any of the following special properties can optionally be passed in through the vars object (the third parameter):
 *  <ul>
 * 	 <li><b> delay : Number</b>				Amount of delay in seconds (or frames for frames-based tweens) before the tween should begin.</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> useFrames : Boolean</b>			If useFrames is set to true, the tweens's timing mode will be based on frames. 
 * 											Otherwise, it will be based on seconds/time. NOTE: a tween's timing mode is 
 * 											always determined by its parent timeline. </li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> ease : Function</b>				Use any standard easing equation to control the rate of change. For example, 
 * 											Elastic.easeOut. The Default is Quad.easeOut.</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> easeParams : Array</b>			An Array of extra parameters to feed the easing equation (beyond the standard first 4). 
 * 											This can be useful when using an ease like Elastic and want to control extra parameters 
 * 											like the amplitude and period.	Most easing equations, however, don't require extra parameters 
 * 											so you won't need to pass in any easeParams.</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onInit : Function</b>			A function that should be called just before the tween inits (renders for the first time).
 * 											Since onInit runs before the start/end values are recorded internally, it is a good place to run
 * 											code that affects the target's initial position or other tween-related properties. onStart, by
 * 											contrast, runs AFTER the tween inits and the start/end values are recorded internally. onStart
 * 											is called every time the tween begins which can happen more than once if the tween is restarted
 * 											multiple times.</li>
 * 	
 *  <li><b> onInitParams : Array</b>		An Array of parameters to pass the onInit function.</li>	
 * 
 *  <li><b> onStart : Function</b>			A function that should be called when the tween begins (when its currentTime is at 0 and 
 * 											changes to some other value which can happen more than once if the tween is restarted multiple times).</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onStartParams : Array</b>		An Array of parameters to pass the onStart function.</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onUpdate : Function</b>			A function that should be called every time the tween's time/position is updated 
 * 											(on every frame while the timeline is active)</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onUpdateParams : Array</b>		An Array of parameters to pass the onUpdate function</li>
 *  
 * 	<li><b> onComplete : Function</b>		A function that should be called when the tween has finished </li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onCompleteParams : Array</b>	An Array of parameters to pass the onComplete function</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onReverseComplete : Function</b> A function that should be called when the tween has reached its starting point again after having been reversed. </li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onReverseCompleteParams : Array</b> An Array of parameters to pass the onReverseComplete function.</li>
 *  
 * 	<li><b> onRepeat : Function</b>			A function that should be called every time the tween repeats </li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onRepeatParams : Array</b>		An Array of parameters to pass the onRepeat function</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> immediateRender : Boolean</b> Normally when you create a tween, it begins rendering on the very next frame (when 
 * 											the Flash Player dispatches an ENTER_FRAME event) unless you specify a <code>delay</code>. This 
 * 											allows you to insert tweens into timelines and perform other actions that may affect 
 * 											its timing. However, if you prefer to force the tween to render immediately when it is 
 * 											created, set <code>immediateRender</code> to true. Or to prevent a tween with a duration of zero from
 * 											rendering immediately, set this to false.</li>
 * 
 *  <li><b> paused : Boolean</b>			If true, the tween will be paused initially.</li>
 * 
 * 	<li><b> reversed : Boolean</b>			If true, the tween will be reversed initially. This does not swap the starting/ending
 * 											values in the tween - it literally changes its orientation/direction. Imagine the playhead
 * 											moving backwards instead of forwards. This does NOT force it to the very end and start 
 * 											playing backwards. It simply affects the orientation of the tween, so if reversed is set to 
 * 											true initially, it will appear not to play because it is already at the beginning. To cause it to
 * 											play backwards from the end, set reversed to true and then set the <code>currentProgress</code> 
 * 											property to 1 immediately after creating the tween (or set the currentTime to the duration). </li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> overwrite : int</b>			Controls how (and if) other tweens of the same target are overwritten by this tween. There are
 * 										several modes to choose from, and TweenMax automatically calls <code>OverwriteManager.init()</code> if you haven't
 * 										already manually dones so, which means that by default <code>AUTO</code> mode is used (please see 
 * 										<a href="http://www.greensock.com/overwritemanager/">http://www.greensock.com/overwritemanager/</a> 
 * 										for details and a full explanation of the various modes):
 * 										<ul>
 * 			  								<li>NONE (0) (or false) </li>
 * 											
 * 											<li>ALL_IMMEDIATE (1) (or true)</li>
 * 													
 * 											<li>AUTO (2) - this is the default mode for TweenMax.</li>
 * 												
 * 											<li>CONCURRENT (3)</li>
 * 												
 * 											<li>ALL_ONSTART (4)</li>
 * 												
 * 											<li>PREEXISTING (5)</li>
 * 
 * 										</ul></li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> repeat : int</b>					Number of times that the tween should repeat. To repeat indefinitely, use -1.</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> repeatDelay : Number</b>			Amount of time in seconds (or frames for frames-based tween) between repeats.</li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> yoyo : Boolean</b> 					Works in conjunction with the repeat property, determining the behavior of each 
 * 												cycle. When yoyo is true, the tween will go back and forth, appearing to reverse 
 * 												every other cycle (this has no affect on the "reversed" property though). So if repeat is
 * 												2 and yoyo is false, it will look like: start - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - end. But 
 * 												if repeat is 2 and yoyo is true, it will look like: start - 1 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - end. </li>
 * 									
 * 	<li><b> onStartListener : Function</b>		A function to which the TweenMax instance should dispatch a TweenEvent when it begins.
 * 	  											This is the same as doing <code>myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.START, myFunction);</code></li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> onUpdateListener : Function</b>		A function to which the TweenMax instance should dispatch a TweenEvent every time it 
 * 												updates values.	This is the same as doing <code>myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.UPDATE, myFunction);</code></li>
 * 	  
 * 	<li><b> onCompleteListener : Function</b>	A function to which the TweenMax instance should dispatch a TweenEvent when it completes.
 * 	  											This is the same as doing <code>myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.COMPLETE, myFunction);</code></li>
 * 
 *  <li><b> onReverseCompleteListener : Function</b> A function to which the TweenMax instance should dispatch a TweenEvent when it completes
 * 												in the reverse direction. This is the same as doing <code>myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.REVERSE_COMPLETE, myFunction);</code></li>
 * 
 *  <li><b> onRepeatListener : Function</b>		A function to which the TweenMax instance should dispatch a TweenEvent when it repeats.
 * 	  											This is the same as doing <code>myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.REPEAT, myFunction);</code></li>
 * 	
 * 	<li><b> startAt : Object</b>				Allows you to define the starting values for each property. Typically, TweenMax uses the current
 * 												value (whatever it happens to be at the time the tween begins) as the start value, but startAt
 * 												allows you to override that behavior. Simply pass an object in with whatever properties you'd like
 * 												to set just before the tween begins. For example, if mc.x is currently 100, and you'd like to 
 * 												tween it from 0 to 500, do <code>TweenMax.to(mc, 2, {x:500, startAt:{x:0}});</code> </li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <b>PLUGINS: </b><br /><br />
 * 
 * 	There are many plugins that add capabilities through other special properties. Adding the capabilities 
 * 	is as simple as activating the plugin with a single line of code, like <code>TweenPlugin.activate([SetSizePlugin]);</code>
 * 	Get information about all the plugins at <a href="http://www.TweenMax.com">http://www.TweenMax.com</a>. The 
 *  following plugins are activated by default in TweenMax (you can easily prevent them from activating, thus 
 *  saving file size, by commenting out the associated activation lines towards the top of the class):
 * 	
 * <ul>
 * 	  <li><b> autoAlpha : Number</b> - Use it instead of the alpha property to gain the additional feature of toggling 
 * 						   			   the visible property to false when alpha reaches 0. It will also toggle visible 
 * 						   			   to true before the tween starts if the value of autoAlpha is greater than zero.</li>
 * 						   
 * 	  <li><b> visible : Boolean</b> - To set a DisplayObject's "visible" property at the end of the tween, use this special property.</li>
 * 	  
 * 	  <li><b> volume : Number</b> - Tweens the volume of an object with a soundTransform property (MovieClip/SoundChannel/NetStream, etc.)</li>
 * 	  
 * 	  <li><b> tint : Number</b> - To change a DisplayObject's tint/color, set this to the hex value of the tint you'd like
 * 					  			  to end up at(or begin at if you're using TweenMax.from()). An example hex value would be 0xFF0000.</li>
 * 					  
 * 	  <li><b> removeTint : Boolean</b> - If you'd like to remove the tint that's applied to a DisplayObject, pass true for this special property.</li>
 * 	  
 * 	  <li><b> frame : Number</b> - Use this to tween a MovieClip to a particular frame.</li>
 * 	  
 * 	  <li><b> bezier : Array</b> - Bezier tweening allows you to tween in a non-linear way. For example, you may want to tween
 * 					  			  a MovieClip's position from the origin (0,0) 500 pixels to the right (500,0) but curve downwards
 *  				   			  through the middle of the tween. Simply pass as many objects in the bezier array as you'd like, 
 * 					   			  one for each "control point" (see documentation on Flash's curveTo() drawing method for more
 * 					   			  about how control points work). In this example, let's say the control point would be at x/y coordinates
 * 					   			  250,50. Just make sure your my_mc is at coordinates 0,0 and then do: 
 * 					   			  <code>TweenMax.to(my_mc, 3, {bezier:[{x:250, y:50}, {x:500, y:0}]});</code></li>
 * 					   
 * 	  <li><b> bezierThrough : Array</b> - Identical to bezier except that instead of passing bezier control point values, you
 * 							  			  pass points through which the bezier values should move. This can be more intuitive
 * 							  			  than using control points.</li>
 * 							  
 * 	  <li><b> orientToBezier : Array (or Boolean)</b> - A common effect that designers/developers want is for a MovieClip/Sprite to 
 * 	  						orient itself in the direction of a Bezier path (alter its rotation). orientToBezier
 * 							makes it easy. In order to alter a rotation property accurately, TweenMax needs 4 pieces
 * 							of information: 
 * 							<ol>
 * 								<li> Position property 1 (typically "x")</li>
 * 								<li> Position property 2 (typically "y")</li>
 * 								<li> Rotational property (typically "rotation")</li>
 * 								<li> Number of degrees to add (optional - makes it easy to orient your MovieClip properly)</li>
 *							</ol>
 * 							The orientToBezier property should be an Array containing one Array for each set of these values. 
 * 							For maximum flexibility, you can pass in any number of arrays inside the container array, one 
 * 							for each rotational property. This can be convenient when working in 3D because you can rotate
 * 							on multiple axis. If you're doing a standard 2D x/y tween on a bezier, you can simply pass 
 * 							in a boolean value of true and TweenMax will use a typical setup, <code>[["x", "y", "rotation", 0]]</code>. 
 * 							Hint: Don't forget the container Array (notice the double outer brackets)</li>
 * 							
 * 	  <li><b> hexColors : Object</b> - Although hex colors are technically numbers, if you try to tween them conventionally,
 * 				 you'll notice that they don't tween smoothly. To tween them properly, the red, green, and 
 * 				 blue components must be extracted and tweened independently. TweenMax makes it easy. To tween
 * 				 a property of your object that's a hex color to another hex color, use this special hexColors 
 * 				 property of TweenMax. It must be an OBJECT with properties named the same as your object's 
 * 				 hex color properties. For example, if your my_obj object has a "myHexColor" property that you'd like
 * 				 to tween to red (0xFF0000) over the course of 2 seconds, do: <br />
 * 				 <code>TweenMax.to(my_obj, 2, {hexColors:{myHexColor:0xFF0000}});</code><br />
 * 				 You can pass in any number of hexColor properties.</li>
 * 				 
 * 	  <li><b> shortRotation : Object</b> - To tween the rotation property of the target object in the shortest direction, use "shortRotation" 
 * 	  						   instead of "rotation" as the property. For example, if <code>myObject.rotation</code> is currently 170 degrees 
 * 	  						   and you want to tween it to -170 degrees, a normal rotation tween would travel a total of 340 degrees 
 * 	  						   in the counter-clockwise direction, but if you use shortRotation, it would travel 20 degrees in the 
 * 	  						   clockwise direction instead.</li>
 * 	  					   
 * 	  <li><b> roundProps : Array</b> - If you'd like the inbetween values in a tween to always get rounded to the nearest integer, use the roundProps
 * 	  					   special property. Just pass in an Array containing the property names that you'd like rounded. For example,
 * 	  					   if you're tweening the x, y, and alpha properties of mc and you want to round the x and y values (not alpha)
 * 	  					   every time the tween is rendered, you'd do: <code>TweenMax.to(mc, 2, {x:300, y:200, alpha:0.5, roundProps:["x","y"]});</code></li>
 * 	  					   
 * 	  <li><b> blurFilter : Object</b> - To apply a BlurFilter, pass an object with one or more of the following properties:
 * 	  									<code>blurX, blurY, quality, remove, addFilter, index</code></li>
 * 	  						
 * 	  <li><b> glowFilter : Object</b> - To apply a GlowFilter, pass an object with one or more of the following properties:
 * 	  								<code>alpha, blurX, blurY, color, strength, quality, inner, knockout, remove, addFilter, index</code></li>
 * 	  						
 * 	  <li><b> colorMatrixFilter : Object</b> - To apply a ColorMatrixFilter, pass an object with one or more of the following properties:
 * 								   <code>colorize, amount, contrast, brightness, saturation, hue, threshold, relative, matrix, remove, addFilter, index</code></li>
 * 								   
 * 	  <li><b> dropShadowFilter : Object</b> - To apply a DropShadowFilter, pass an object with one or more of the following properties:
 * 								  			  <code>alpha, angle, blurX, blurY, color, distance, strength, quality, remove, addFilter, index</code></li>
 * 								  
 * 	  <li><b> bevelFilter : Object</b> - To apply a BevelFilter, pass an object with one or more of the following properties:
 * 							 			 <code>angle, blurX, blurY, distance, highlightAlpha, highlightColor, shadowAlpha, shadowColor, strength, quality, remove, addFilter, index</code></li>
 * 	</ul>
 * 	
 * 	
 * <b>EXAMPLES:</b><br /><br /> 
 * 	
 * 	Please see <a href="http://www.tweenmax.com">http://www.tweenmax.com</a> for examples, tutorials, and interactive demos. <br /><br />
 * 
 * <b>NOTES / TIPS:</b>
 * <ul>
 * 	<li> Passing values as Strings will make the tween relative to the current value. For example, if you do
 * 	  <code>TweenMax.to(mc, 2, {x:"-20"});</code> it'll move the mc.x to the left 20 pixels which is the same as doing
 * 	  <code>TweenMax.to(mc, 2, {x:mc.x - 20});</code> You could also cast it like: <code>TweenMax.to(mc, 2, {x:String(myVariable)});</code></li>
 * 	  
 * 	<li> If you prefer, instead of using the onCompleteListener, onInitListener, onStartListener, and onUpdateListener special properties, 
 * 	  you can set up listeners the typical way, like:<br /><code>
 * 	  var myTween:TweenMax = new TweenMax(my_mc, 2, {x:200});<br />
 * 	  myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.COMPLETE, myFunction);</code></li>
 * 	  
 * 	<li> You can kill all tweens of a particular object anytime with the <code>TweenMax.killTweensOf(myObject); </code></li>
 * 	  
 * 	<li> You can kill all delayedCalls to a particular function using <code>TweenMax.killDelayedCallsTo(myFunction);</code>
 * 	  This can be helpful if you want to preempt a call.</li>
 * 	  
 * 	<li> Use the <code>TweenMax.from()</code> method to animate things into place. For example, if you have things set up on 
 * 	  the stage in the spot where they should end up, and you just want to animate them into place, you can 
 * 	  pass in the beginning x and/or y and/or alpha (or whatever properties you want).</li>

		 * Exactly the same as TweenMax.allTo(), but instead of tweening the properties from where they're

		 * end up and you just want to tween them into place. <b>NOTE:</b> By default, <code>immediateRender</code>
		 * is <code>true</code> for allFrom() tweens, meaning that they immediately render their starting state 
		 * regardless of any delay or stagger that is specified. You can override this behavior by passing 
		 * <code>immediateRender:false</code> in the <code>vars</code> object so that each tween will wait to render until
		 * any delay/stagger has passed (often the desired behavior when inserting into timelines). To illustrate
		 * the default behavior, the following code will immediately set the <code>alpha</code> of <code>mc1</code>, 
		 * <code>mc2</code>, and <code>mc3</code> to 0 and then wait 2 seconds before tweening each <code>alpha</code> 
		 * back to 1 over the course of 1.5 seconds with 0.1 seconds lapsing between the start times of each:<br /><br /><code>
